TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — It’s been a tumultuous past three months at quarterback for Florida State.

The coaching staff failed to sign a high school prospect for the second consecutive recruiting cycle after it went all-in on four-star prospect Sam Howell, who flipped to North Carolina in December. Then, just a month before spring practice was set to begin, coach Willie Taggart dismissed returning starter Deondre Francois. That left James Blackman as the lone scholarship quarterback on the roster eligible to play in 2019 and created a concerning lack of depth.

At least for the short-term, that problem was solved when Wisconsin graduate transfer Alex Hornibrook announced his decision to commit to the Seminoles on Sunday. He was 26-6 as a starter for the Badgers while completing 61 percent of his passes for 5,438 yards, 47 touchdowns and 33 interceptions.
